The President's Cup is an annual season spanning match play competition. Playing the President's Cup is a great way to meet members as well as develop match play skills. Participants are assigned to flights that will have a maximum of five players. Flights are determined using the Sunday Handicap Index report prior to the start of the event (June 16). Once flights are set, your course handicap for subsequent President's Cup matches will be determined by the prior Sunday's posted Handicap Index.
For 2026, the President's Cup will be played from June 16-August 28, 2026
As a competitor of the President's Cup you will play 4 matches; you and your competitor make tee times and hand in your cards (see bulletin board by Pro Shop). We try to have openings for match play so you don't have to wait 2 weeks to reserve a tee time - check with the Pro Shop for any openings. You have until Aug 28 to complete your matches and you must play to gain points.
There is an online signup sheet (NOT via BlueGolf ) HERE. Use this form to submit your name to play 4 matches during the summer.
2026 President's Cup - Match Play Rules
Each flight will consist of 5 players with similar Handicap Index. Players who selected 'Blue Tee' option for the season, will play from those tees; otherwise you will use the Combo (Green/Blue) tees,
Each player in each flight will play one match with everyone in their flight.
All matches must be completed by August 28, 2026. Matches may be scheduled at any time up to and including the final date.
It is your responsibility to set up matches with each player in your flight.
The tournament is based on a point system. The winner of the President's Cup will be the player that accumulates the highest number of points, regardless of flight.
Each hole is worth 1 point. If a tie occurs on any hole, that point is halved (1/2 or .5) Each match is worth a total of 18 points. All points count-even if you lose a match by a few points, this does not mean you lose your flight, as total points from all four matches is what is counted.
There will be flight winners, consisting of first and second place in each flight.
Before playing your match, obtain your scorecard from the Head Pro's office. It will be pre-printed with 'pops' based on handicaps taken from the last day of sign ups.
Record gross scores and points for the match, both players sign the card, and return the scorecard to the Pro Shop.
Once the tournament has started, any disputes, cancellations, or other unusual circumstances pertaining to it will be settled by the TDWGC Board and the President's Cup Chair.
USGA rules governing Match Play will apply for all matches.
When scheduling your matches, you can play on a Tuesday game day, and still partipate in the game of the week-however, you must play out the hole for the weekly game and no concessions (for the match play) are allowed. If you schedule a match on a Tuesday Play Day, be sure to inform the pro shop so they can pair you with your opponent that week.
